Maybe mentioned somewhere, but there was something to seeing the whole arena react to Al MacInnis getting the puck at the point, taking a stride and starting the windup.
The goalie, The players, and every fan held their breath for that little second. The goalie got set. You knew what was coming. And it might go in anyway.
I was a teenager so maybe a filtered memory, but awesome.
Other players have had amazing shots, but they tend to be one timed. There was something different about MacInnis in my memory.
